Why You Should Experience Failure Before Becoming Successful

1. It gives you more perspective.

Perspective is everything. Having different perspective will help you see things from other people’s eyes.

You’ll be able to easily connect with people even if you’re going from or heading to opposite directions.
What’s more, you won’t be taking success for granted. Why? Because you personally know what it feels like to fail.

2. The pay-off is more satisfying.

If you’ve gone through failure, then you’ll know that the struggle very well justifies the victory. You know the feeling of achieving something after working hard for it?

Nothing seems so sweeter, isn’t it?

That’s exactly why you need to experience some “lows.” It builds a full appreciation for it and what makes your success feel like an actual success.

It lets you know that you’ve really earned the success that you’ve worked so hard to achieve.

3. It builds a legitimate sense of entitlement.

The end results are not handed to you on a silver platter. You earned it.
You want to be known as someone who works their way to the top using their own skills. Well, that’s something to be proud of.

The results become more profound when achievement is backed by struggle, sacrifice, and success.
Respect and, more crucially, genuine self-respect is attained.

In addition, you’ll also learn how to respond to failure effectively, instead of letting it get to you. Failure will make you stronger, wiser in taking the next course of action you need to take to move forward.

5. Failure makes you want it that much more.

When you fail, even just once, success becomes even more tempting. You’re motivated more than ever to get where you want to be.

Your desire for your goals and ambitions will grow beyond measure.

Failing to do something will re-animate and possibly reinvigorate your ambitions. In other words, if it’s something you really want, your thirst for it will grow.

Now that you know why you should experience failure before becoming successful, I know you want to learn more.
